vrf VRF - HP81104A Pulse Pattern Generator

As with most HP equipment, there should be a command to take a single sweep. Try "SING;" or "SWP;" or use an interface event and send a TRIGGER to the GPIB bus. This will cause a trigger to be sent to all devices on the bus. You should be able to set your devices up for external triggers so that they will respond to this event.
